Re: [fw-mvc] BaseUrl and subdomains

Thanks Paul,

Definitely see your point - but in our case it would be less effective...

Part of it is moving stuff to outside our network, so the load balancer
(if they would give a budget for such a wondrous thing) would not help
as much. Balancing by extension would not get me where I want, but had
we done our image naming better, yeah I could see that. We have some
conventions, but maybe not enough. Hmmm, maybe by the path though....
hmmmm.

Thanks for the discussion on it, next time, or re-write allowing, I will
take a look at the baseurl functionality!

Part of what the CDN1, CDN2, CDN3 did was to make sure the same image or resource got the same static server each time (for caching - each one points somewhere different)... I suppose I could pass that in here but seems like extra work on the server for no real gain, at least in my case.

Purpose is obvious: to have the static resources loading from one single location, so it would cache (so everything load faster, no matter on which subdomain we are).
